Per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made compounds involved in compositions of many industrial processes and consumer products. The largest-volume man-made PFAS are made up of refrigerants and fluoropolymers. Major concerns for our society related to these substances are their contribution to global warming as greenhouse gasses and the potential for adverse effects on living organisms, particularly by long-chain perfluoroalkyl acid derivatives. Restrictions on manufacturing and applications will increase in the near future. The full remediation of historical and current contaminations of air, soil and water remains problematic, especially for ultra-short PFASs, such as trifluoroacetic acid. Future monitoring of PFAS levels and their impact on ecosystems remains important. PFASs have become integrated in the lifestyle and infrastructures of our modern worldwide society and are likely to be part of that society for years to come in essential applications by closing the fluorine loop.
全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFASs）是参与许多工业过程和消费品成分的人造化合物。产量最大的人造PFAS由制冷剂和含氟聚合物组成。社会对这些物质的主要担忧在于它们作为温室气体对全球变暖的影响，以及对生物体产生不利影响的可能性，特别是长链全氟烷基酸衍生物。在不久的将来，对其制造和应用的限制将会增加。对空气、土壤和水的历史和当前污染进行全面修复仍然存在问题，尤其是对于超短链PFASs，如三氟乙酸。未来对PFAS水平及其对生态系统影响的监测仍然很重要。PFASs已融入我们现代全球社会的生活方式和基础设施中，并且通过闭合氟循环在关键应用中很可能在未来数年仍将是该社会的一部分。
